by leave—I just want to respond to Senator Coonan’s remarks. I find it disappointing that the opposition is not willing to support a motion that looks clearly at the deaths of 437 Palestinian children during the last few weeks. I think that it is outrageous that the coalition cannot simply see that we are talking about the killing of innocent children and that Australia has a role to play in supporting extra funding to medical support.

Question agreed to.
